Recipe for a good english beef mince pie?

  • I am looking to make a mince pie and was wondering if anyone knows of a good traditional english recipe. You know like the ones you get in your local bakery. I don't want one that has extra ingredients in it that people have just added in themselves.

    Thank you, best recipe gets 10 points. xx


  • Ingredients (serves 4)
    2 sheets frozen ready-rolled puff pastry, partially thawed
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 brown onion, finely chopped
    500g lean beef mince
    1/4 cup oyster sauce
    2 tablespoons reduced-salt soy sauce
    1 egg, lightly beaten
    Method
    Place a baking tray in the oven. Preheat oven and tray to 200掳C. Lightly grease a 17cm (base) pie dish and line with 1 pastry sheet. Trim excess pastry. Using a fork, prick pastry base 6 times (don't pierce all the way through). Place in freezer for 10 minutes.
    Line pastry case with baking paper. Half fill with uncooked rice. Place on hot tray and bake blind for 10 minutes or until pastry edges are light golden. Remove paper and rice. Bake for a further 8 to 10 minutes or until pastry is light golden. Remove from oven. Allow to cool.
    Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until soft. Increase heat to high. Add mince. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes or until browned. Add oyster sauce and soy sauce. Stir until well combined. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes or until liquid has evaporated. Cool.
    Spoon mixture into pastry case. Brush edges with egg. Place remaining pastry sheet over filling. Trim and seal edges. Brush top with beaten egg. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until pastry is crisp and golden. Stand for 5 minutes before serving.
    You can make into individual pies if you wish.
